A lot going on here. You have a bi-swing back or called an action back, sewn down belt, tab/button on vent. Purpose is to keep vent closed. Inverted pleat on front patch pocket.
Yes it is a mens jacket.

IIRC Kent Wang had a thread about the button on the vent within the last month. Look it up for more info

It is casual but leans toward a sporting use. This cloth is too fragile for sporting use. Have only made these for guys going shooting/hunting in Scotland. You know, when you go hunting and wear a jacket and tie, maybe plus fours. Have also made a bunch of trousers for quail hunting.

It has the shoulder/latissimus dorsi vents (forget what they are called) for easier arm/torso movement. I should have known

Yup- but done up in thorn-proof tweeds, etc, yeah?

This is one of those cases where function has completely given in to fashion.

Yeah it's sort of a half-Norfolk what with the pleated (bellows?) patch pockets. Personally I think there are TOO many details. I myself commissioned a half-Norfolk of sorts but I didn't have that many bells and whistles on it.
